Game Preview
Saturday’s boxing card at Barclays Center in Brooklyn promises to be one of the best in 2022 as Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan will step into the ring to challenge the WBA Middleweight Champion Erislandy Lara for his title. This fight, which is part of a card that includes the WBA Lightweight Championship fight between Gervonta Davis and Rolando Romero promises to be yet another great bout between two middleweight division veterans who are also two of the most respected fighters around. With the action almost here, will this be O’Sullivan’s chance to make a run for the title, or will the Cuban fighter Lara be able to leave Brooklyn still as champion?
Fight Preview
When we talk about Cuban fighter Erislandy Lara, to say that he is one of the best Cuban-born fighters in the last 30 years is not exaggerating whatsoever. Lara, who is 39, who has been a champion multiple times, being the WBA champion right now and who has had some amazing fights against some of the biggest names in the business like Canelo Alvarez, will be looking to extend his 28-3-3 record with yet another win, especially with many people already talking about how this could end up being one of the Cuban’s last fights before calling it quits because of his age.
If you look at the way that Lara fights and moves, you would never think that we’re talking about a fighter of almost 40 years old, which ultimately says plenty about just how good Lara is in the ring. Just like other Cuban fighters in the past, Lara is known for his smoothness when moving around the ring, his speed and above all the power in his punches, which ultimately have helped him reach the highest pinnacles of success when it comes to his career.
As the fight against O’Sullivan nears, it’s not difficult to see why experts from all around consider the Cuban the favorite to win here, and a win from him should be what all boxing fans should expect.
Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan is no stranger to stepping into the ring against champions in his past. With a respectable 31-4 record, the fighting Irish man who is 37 years old could also be looking at this fight as one of the last in his career, with this shot at the championship probably being the last he might get in his career.
Four times before has O’Sullivan fought world champions, with those four fights ending up as the four losses in his professional record, which if we take into consideration when thinking about prospects for the fight on Saturday point towards O’Sullivan not having the best chances to beat Lara.
